This is the lightest weight Bosch rotary hammer - strictly for DIYers - and the replacement, upgraded (and beefier) model has been out for a while now. For $100, this is more than enough for almost all DIYer and is a steal at this price - there are definitely better SDS+ rotary hammers out there but chances are you don't own one of those and you'd have to pay a multiple of this price.
Edit: I do not have personal experience with this drill. While I am a fan of Bosch rotary hammers, I cannot speak to the performance of this one. While it is an SDS+ rotary hammer (with all the advantages of SDS), it is definitely for home use. It will undoubtedly outperform most consumer-grade cordless hammer drills in terms of cleanliness of holes and drilling speed and it's hard to beat at this price. That being said, I personally would not buy this unit.
